{2026 New Release} A History of the African-American People (Proposed) by Strom Thurmond, as Told to Percival Everett & James Kincaid (A Novel) by: Percival Everett, James Kincaid This "hilarious high-concept satire" (Publishers Weekly), by the PEN/Faulkner finalist and acclaimed author of Telephone and Erasure, is a fictitious and satirical chronicle of South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond's desire to pen a history of African-Americans—his and his aides' belief being that he has done as much, or more, than any American to shape that history. An epistolary novel, The History follows the letters of loose cannon Congressional office workers, insane interns at a large New York publishing house and disturbed publishing executives, along with homicidal rival editors, kindly family friends, and an aspiring author named Septic. Strom Thurmond appears charming and open, mad and sure of his place in American history. Release: 2/3/26Click to Read: (Own It Today)

Currently reading. #booksky #percivaleverett #fiction

This is the ... 8th or 9th book of Percival Everett's books I've read.

There's something viscerally relatable about the people he writes, their struggles with other people, their sense of being alienated, their internal dialogues. 🤷🏻‍♀️

On croise plein de personnages loufoques. C’est supposé être drôle, je n’ai pas ri. Je comprends pourquoi ça n’a pas été traduit en français. Libéré.

A thumbnail image of cover art for Wounded by Percival Everett. A black cover with the authors name and in white, the title in red and at the very bottom, just a sliver of the side of a horse’s face in black and white, just one eye looking out, as though the viewer were looking up from below the horse and seeing dark sky above it.

I’ve never had a favorite of most things. Usually a “top 3” is the most I can winnow things down.

I have a favorite writer. Percival Everett.

I hold a paperback copy of “So Much Blue” by Percival Everett up to the camera. The book is a deep color of blue with a stylized drawing of a woman sitting at a counter with her back to us. She has shoulder length blue-black hair and is in a blue strappy cocktail dress. The title is written in stark white letters that could almost be brush strokes. 

Around the book holiday lights and a Christmas tree glow in the background.

After the festivities wrapped, I got to open this up… and I didn’t close it till the final page. I love when I get to do that!

Everett is in my top 3 modern writers.

I had already come to understand the tidiness of lies, the lesson learned from the stories told by white people seeking to justify my circumstance... And so…the Bible itself…I recognized it as a tool of my enemy.

Percival Everett's James Ignites Pulitzer Fiction 2025 Fire - Ongoing Now Pulitzer Fiction 2025 reclaims silenced voices through James, igniting cultural storytelling and philosophical depth in award-winning books.

Everett’s James takes 2025 Pulitzer. Jim finally speaks. Makes you wonder which Australian classics still need the silenced characters to talk back. #OngoingNow #Pulitzer2025 #PercivalEverett #ListeningBetter

The Trees by Percival Everett (2021) Having already read and enjoyed three novels by Percival Everett, So Much Blue (2017), Erasure (2001), and James (2024), when I saw The Trees at the local bookstore when I’d been in a reading…

Catch up reviews

I read The Trees by #PercivalEverett in Oct to get me out of a reading rut, and it worked.

I went in blind without reading the blurb just to add another layer of surprise.

Everett is a reliable good read, never predictable, always intriguing.

Das Versteckspiel zwischen Schwarz und Weiß nimmt groteske Formen an, zeigt die Widersinnigkeit rassistischer Zuschreibung. Wundern wir uns daher nicht darüber, dass Norman als Weißer durchgehen kann. Die Terminologie ist widersinnig.

Es widerstrebt mir, für die Flucht von James "entlaufen" zu verwenden. Endlich löst sich die Handlung gänzlich von der Vorlage bei #MarkTwain und folgt eigenen Gesetzen. Bin gespannt auf das zweite Kapitel.

Aufklärung darüber, was es mit Emmetts Notizbuch am Beginn des Romans auf sich hat. Begegnung mit den Virginia Minstrels. Absurde Wendung: Blackfacing von James! Wie weit muss sich ein Schwarzer noch verdrehen, um weißen Herren zu gefallen?

Bei dem kleinteiligen Lesen hier im #buchclub, beim ständigen Gegenlesen von #PercivalEverett und #MarkTwain, bei all den Kommentaren in diesem Feed - komme ich ganz durcheinander, was wohin gehört. Die Handlung von James entgleitet mir zunehmend, alles geht auf in eine Mississippi Gemengelage.

Jim und Huck in Geiselhaft zweier Betrüger: Sklaven und Kinder sind nicht mündig. Einstieg in ein „Sklavenverkaufsgeschäft“ und Misshandlung Jims, der sich schützend vor Huck stellt.
